So far in 2019, the median price of all types of properties has increased by 8%. The average price of properties and total sales in dollars are also increasing. 

There were also more properties sold than at this time in 2017 and 2018. The number of properties sold above asking price is also up compared to the last two years. We are also seeing that the market is moving very quickly: properties are sold within an average of 19 days!
